FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- Three people who taught foreign languages at the Joint Special Operations Command Center at Fort Bragg were arrested on immigration charges, federal officials said Tuesday.
The suspects from Indonesia and Senegal did not have access to classified material, a JSOC spokeswoman said.
Two Indonesian natives, Nurkis Qadariah, 34, and Sayf Rimal, 37, were arrested Tuesday and charged with possessing and using false documents, U.S. Attorney Frank Whitney said in a prepared statement.
Ousmane Moreau, 38, of Senegal, was arrested Monday and charged with being in the United States illegally, Whitney and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jeff Jordan said. He will be placed in removal proceedings, they said.
The complaint against Qadariah and Rimal accuses them of using counterfeit resident alien cards and falsely saying that they were lawful permanent residents of the United States in order to get a job with B.I.B. Consultants Inc. for work at Fort Bragg.

Employers have to verify citizenship when they hire people. Clearly how government still has not gotten anything right in this area.
"The Army started hiring out to contractors to do the job instead of civil service. This is what you get"
That's probably true. But you'd think they still do the final background check themselves.

And they won't, as long as Bush is in the White House.
They were just doing the jobs domestic terrorists don't want to do.
This has nothing to do with President Bush. This is the local operations failing to do its job.
These aren't sensitive positions, so I guess they trust the contractor to get it right.
This probably goes a bit higher, as they contract using current contracting regulations written much higher up. Kudos go out to the administration and local command for realizing there may be a problem and taking action. A lapse may be the reason they were there, but attentiveness is the reason they were caught.

Nope. Not a chance. That's the fun part about a sub contractor. You get to dump the legal responsibility to check legal employment status onto an operation that you secretly know will not perform that legal obligation. Then when the stuff hits the fan you can claim innocence and be immune to the long arm of the law. It’s how it gets done every day all over America.

I have a hunch Homeland is behind this stuff. We have been reading about arrests on various military installations across the country.
Whomever it was who decided to do a security check for our military bases deserves a pat on the back because there certainly has been a lot of arrests of illegals.
Now lets fix the system and get rid of all illegals everywhere! I would hate to think how many are filling in State positions, DMV, schools, prison systems and the like.
Nope. They contract out the collection of the forms and fingerprints and background checks.
Not all info is out yet, but apparently the company claims that records checks on these people came through. Either the company is lying or these people had really good fake documents with data to back them up.
Handy little law for the open borders/hire illegal aliens crowd.
They even went further than that with the handy little law that says that illegal aliens can be hired to rebuild New Orleans.
Americans could use those jobs to try and rebuild their lives, but this administration ignores that fact.
